3: Donald Peers
The bill at the Palladium this week is truly remarkable in that it is headed, not by an American but by a British performer, Mr Donald Peers.
(THE TIMES, August 1950)
Every generation produces its cult figures. For a time they capture huge followings and receive much adulation. In a new series of seven programmes Tony Bilbow looks back on the careers of seven people who were popular heroes and tries to discover the secret of their success.
